DWS RREEF Real Estate Securities Fund - Class R (RRRSX)

Overview

This investment entity is focused on capital allocation into the real estate sector, primarily through equity securities of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and companies engaged in real estate operations. At its core, the fund targets at least 80% of its net assets to be invested in these areas, also incorporating the use of borrowed funds to enhance its investment reach. Additionally, while the fund emphasizes real estate sector investments, it maintains flexibility by allocating a portion of its assets into various other types of securities, broadening its scope and potential market adaptability. It operates with a non-diversified status, allowing it to concentrate its investments in fewer securities, potentially increasing its sensitivity to market changes and opportunities within its primary focus area of real estate.

Products and Services

• Equity Securities of REITs and Real Estate Companies:

  The fund's primary investment focus is on the equity securities of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and companies deeply entrenched in the real estate industry. These investments aim to tap into the income-generating potential and growth opportunities within the real estate market, leveraging the unique characteristics of REITs and real estate companies, such as their potential for regular income streams and property value appreciation.

• Short-Term Securities, Bonds, and Notes:

  Aside from its primary real estate focus, the fund diversifies its investment portfolio by including a mix of short-term securities, bonds, and notes. This strategy is designed to balance the fund’s risk and provide a stable income component, buffering against the volatility inherent in the real estate market. These investments usually offer lower returns compared to equity securities but are considered less risky, providing a foundation of stability for the fund’s overall portfolio.

• Securities of Non-Real Estate Companies:

  The fund also explores opportunities outside the real estate sector by investing in securities of companies not principally engaged in real estate. This may include stocks from various industries, allowing the fund to capture growth in other sectors and reduce its exposure to sector-specific downturns. This strategy contributes to the fund’s aim of achieving a balanced and diversified investment portfolio, potentially enhancing its ability to navigate various market conditions.
